摘要: Abstract Carbon footprint (CFP) of sugar produced from sugarcane in eastern Thailand was estimated greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, CH4, and N2O) during the cultivation milling process. The use fossil fuels, chemical organic fertilizer biomass data were collected field surveys, questionnaires interviews. Sugar mill emissions, fuel utilization emission wastewater treatments included. results show that production has a carbon 0.55 kg CO2e kg−1 sugar. This sum 0.49 kg CO2e kg−1 0.06 kg CO2e kg−1 For part, most GHGs fertilizer, burning. CFP is sensitive to type selected for calculation variations farm inputs cultivation. There no significant difference among sizes, although small farms tended give relatively higher than medium large farms.
